I have never been a Nash guy but my Dad had a ’52 Rambler Country Club Coupe as his first car. It was totaled in a wreck, when I was about a year old. I have run across one that is complete but will need some work. It is missing some trim and I was wondering if any of you cross dressing AMC types know of a good Nash forum like this one I could tap into to see how hard it will be to come up with this stuff if I move forward?

Thanks

Nevada Hudson

There is a Nash forum on here, Classiccar.com!

I know but it does not seem to be too active. Last post was Sept. 29th!

The Nash Club has a pretty extensive site at www.nashcarclub.org. Once you figure out how to navigate, lots of resources listed.

After searching for something Nash it makes me appreciate the HET Club even more. I did go to the Nash Club site and although it is OK the HET site is a quantum step up. The folks here on the forum are a key resource to help all Hudson owners and collectors and it shows in the club activity. Although we can all agree we don’t see as many Hudsons at car shows as we might like, I rarely rarely see a Nash anything, with the exception of Metropolitans.

Thanks to all of you for making Hudson a mark to remember.

Note this is not a negative about Nash cars, clubs or members it is more the uniqueness of how the HET club has developed and supported their cars.

Say what you will about Nashes, I still think Lois Lane was really stylin' with her Country Club Convertible.[attachment=12740]Superman.jpg[/attachment]

And Clark was looking good in the Nash Healey, too. I've heard that car was actually George Reeve's car, in "real life".

Ever notice how as often as not, folks got in (or out) the passenger side- just slid over. I guess bucket seats pretty much stopped that.

All new cars are death traps for people that ride in them. If something happens to the driver they are dead. That is why my Hudson is our cross country driver for if something happens to me I have Margaret trained to knock it out of gear and with her left foot step on the brake pedal. Wide open floor space. Try that with today's death trap cars. Walt.

Walt I like the new cars. If something hits you in these new cars you dont need to buy a coffin you just pick up whats left of these inclosed golf carts and drop whats left in the hole. lol seriouly, when they do hit each other it sounds like someone crushing a cardboard box. Hudson was picked as the safest car for years.(I wish I would have written down some of the things I heard years ago from the older guys) Hudson was 200% better than the worst and 60% better than the second place car for survival rate in an accident. I could tell stories all night about actual accidents between Hudsons and other cars but It would probably not be believed by the younger people. Oh well!!!!

The FACTS do Not support your claim:
Traffic deaths have hit their lowest level since 1950, the year fatalities behind the wheel began to be tracked, according to the latest government statistics.
The fatality rate, meaning the number of deaths per vehicle mile driven in the country, was 1.13 deaths per 100 million vehicle miles driven, the lowest it has ever been, NHTSA said.
